See Melbourne Storm star Harry Grant get the last laugh after a VERY rude attack from Roosters fan when his team won through to the grand final

He may have undergone a medical examination just to take the field in the second half of the Melbourne Storm’s preliminary final win over the Sydney Roosters, but Harry Grant had the last laugh over a very vocal fan.

In celebration of the 48-18 preliminary victory over the Sydney Roosters, the Storm hooker couldn’t resist a cheeky visit to the opposition fans at AAMI Park.

There he met a very angry Roosters fan, who gave the Storm star a mouthful and a few obscene gestures as he laughed it off and gave her a thumbs up in return.

“He’s enjoying it there, Harry Grant,” his former Queensland teammate Cooper Cronk said in a commentary.

“He loves it,” said fellow Fox Sports commentator Yvonne Sampson.

“The Roosters fans are absolutely serving it to Harry and he’s taking it like a champ.”

It was a moment that went viral among footy fans too.

“Did she say Melbourne Storm is number 1?” someone asked sarcastically.

‘I couldn’t accept the sad loss and the payout to Harry. Harry, that smile is just rubbing scars,” another posted.

‘Excellent Harry. That’s the Australian way, what an attitude, I love it,” wrote another.

While Melbourne’s injured trio have already declared themselves fit for the NRL grand final, coach Craig Bellamy said superstars Grant and Jahrome Hughes almost didn’t play in the second half of their win over the Sydney Roosters.

The Storm defeated the Roosters 48-18 in their preliminary final at AAMI Park on Friday evening, with skipper Grant and halfback Hughes, who scored a hat-trick of tries, among the heroes.

But the pair, along with goalscorer Nick Meaney, struggled to finish the match.

A neck injury flared up for Hughes, while Grant suffered a calf problem early in the match and Meaney subsequently suffered a knee strike.

Hughes and Meaney departed in the final five minutes of the match, while Grant played the full 80, but the trio looked red after the match, iced and injured.

Bellamy praised his players’ resilience to dig deep when the side needed them to play on, with the grand final place on the line.

“It just goes to show that we all know what good players they are, talented players, but they’re tough bastards,” the master coach said during his 10th NRL grand final.

“To be able to play the second half like they did just shows that they are paying close attention to what the team needs and that they are willing to put themselves on the line for it.

‘We had a decent lead at half-time but it was way too early to pack up and think we were home, so I just said to them (Grant and Hughes): if you can get another fifteen, twenty minutes to play. and see how it goes, maybe we’ll replace you.

“But then Nick got hurt and we weren’t quite sure how bad he was.”

Grant described his injury as minor and said it did not hinder his play, with four try assists and 31 tackles backing up his claim.

“I got a little blow on my calf and then it was a bit tight,” the 26-year-old said.

“We have a longer lead time, so I’ll be smart about how I approach it tonight and over the next few days, but we’ll be fine.”

The biggest concern ahead of the premiership decider against three-peat champions Penrith or Cronulla is proponent Nelson Asofa-Solomona.

He was sin-binned and put on the report after taking down Lindsay Collins at kick-off with an alleged high tackle, and will find out on Saturday morning whether he faces a ban.

Anything more than a first charge would see Asofa-Solomoa banned for at least three matches and requiring a victory in the judiciary to play in the decider.

“You’d hate to see him miss a big game,” Bellamy said.

‘I didn’t think it was a sin bin. Punishment, I thought it was fair enough, but that’s just me.

“I saw it live and saw one replay, and that was my impression… I didn’t think there was much in it.”
